I agree, I have a watch 6 classic, the battery life is absolutely shit. It's less then 6 months old, I went to bed with it on power save and swim mode to prevent overnight activation via the screen at 80% charge, woke up today at 1pm, it was at 50%,it is now 6Pm and it is at 20%. I will never buy a Samsung watch again lol, they look real fancy but, this is rediculous. you should get more than 24h on a watch.

My old gear sport and my previous watch 3 didn't have this issue until at least the e year mark.
